99595 - Win32 Install - Use full path to perl.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Documentation, defect, P1)

Description

[Jacob Steenhagen]

Step 13 of the Win32 install instructions (win32.html) says to "Modify the
invocation of all system() calls in all perl scripts in your Bugzilla directory.
For instance, change this line in processmail" and then suggests adding "perl"
in front of processmail.  The correct line should be:

system("C:\\perl\\bin\\perl", "processmail", @ARGLIST);

Notice that there is a full path to the perl .exe file and also that the system
call avoids invocing a shell by not putting two paramaters in the same string.

Resolving fixed.  Although this part should now be deprecated, I still want to
keep the instructions around for older Bugzilla versions.  Change checked into
XML source for docs.
